Washington is represented by defense attorney Kyle Worby and Knox County Assistant State's Attorney Brian Kerr was the prosecutor.

Galesburg police Detective Todd Olinger was the lone person to testify during Monday's evidentiary hearing. He said officers responded to about 5 p.m. April 26 for a shooting on South Pearl Street.

Two local men were in the front of a rental vehicle while Adrian Perez, 17, Bloomington, was seated in the back seat with a female. Perez was struck once by a bullet that went through the trunk and seat into his back, Olinger said.

That bullet was then lodged between Perez's heart and sternum and the Bloomington teen was on life support for a while, but has now been released from OSF HealthCare Saint Francis Medical Center where he received treatment, Olinger said Monday.

The car he was in stopped at a stop sign as it was northbound in the 700 block of South Pearl Street. It passed two cars driving in tandem and a shooter reportedly leaned out of a car that was traveling southbound and fired back at the rental vehicle, shooting out the back window, lodging one round in a rear tail light while a third bullet struck Perez in the back.

Shell casings recovered, 9mm, matched and were consistent with each other, Olinger said.

The driver of the rental vehicle identified Washington as the driver and then identified an alleged shooter. That former Galesburg man has subsequently been cleared as he was in Texas at the time of the shooting.

Washington's car was searched, courtesy of a warrant, while it was at the McDonough County Sheriff's Department in Macomb following his arrest there. A Galesburg McDonald's receipt was recovered, and surveillance video verified that Washington drove the vehicle through the drive thru there at 1 p.m. April 26, Olinger said.

Further, surveillance video from the Knox County Courthouse, 200 S. Cherry St., also places Washington as the driver of the same car at 2 p.m. April 26, according to testimony Monday.

The shooting was the result of a dispute over a girl who had formerly been with a person in Washington's circle, but was now with a person in the vehicle that was shot at on April 26.

Worby focused most of his questions for Olinger on the identification of Washington, which came from the same person who claimed a former Galesburg man was the shooter in the case.

Speaking on the McDonald's receipt, courthouse surveillance and identification of Washington, Worby argued, "I don't think that rises to probable cause right here. This is a person that identified my client as the driver" and a man as the shooter, he said.

"Well, it turned out he was dead wrong on one and this one he is incredibly biased ... motivated to lie about the identification," Worby argued, citing the girl at the heart of the conflict.

But Judge Cavanaugh found that the trifecta of the Galesburg fast food receipt and surveillance, courthouse surveillance, and identification were enough for probable cause to believe a felony had occurred.

"I think Mr. Worby has made an excellent point that (the witness) would have a reason to lie" who identified Washington, but that same bias could be a "motivation for the shooting," Cavanaugh said.

Washington's bail was reduced from $250,000 to $150,000, $15,000 needed to get out of jail, as well. That lowered bail also comes with a home confinement stipulation along with electronic monitoring.

Under that scenario, Washington would reside at a relative's Monmouth Boulevard residence while the case progresses and be allowed to go to the Courthouse, a doctor's office if needed and meet with his attorney.

Further, Washington pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial. He will return to court for a pretrial hearing July 2.

Following Monday's hearing, Worby said it is likely the identification of Washington by the same person who misidentified the shooter will be the subject of further motion hearings.
